Chapter 197
Since he wanted to buy real estate, Simon naturally chose the best one.
However, it was still the 1980s, and many years later there were almost no luxury homes worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Even London’s Kensington Gardens, where a number of the world’s most expensive properties later gathered, were priced in the tens of millions at this time.
Level. A five-storey villa with more than 30 rooms on Kensington Garden Street in Simon's hands is priced at 18 million pounds. This is already the most expensive of the sixteen mansions.
With Janet's advice, Simon quickly looked through the sixteen properties in his hand.
Although the overall price of luxury homes in this era is not expensive, the sixteen houses together cost US$178 million in U.S. dollars, with an average price of US$11 million per property.
Among them, except for the mansion on Kensington Garden Street, which covers an area of only half an acre, the area of many other properties can be measured in hectares. A manor in the West End of Paris with a price of 120 million francs covers an area of 22 hectares.
The quoted price, converted into U.S. dollars, is about 17 million. In comparison, the 18 million pound price tag of the mansion on Kensington Gardens Avenue is equivalent to 25 million U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at this time.
Of course, with the exception of London and Paris, the prices of top luxury homes in other major European cities are much cheaper.
After flipping through the last piece of information in his hand, Simon looked at Sofia Fesi and said, "Sixteen properties, including the one in Cannes, can you take care of it?"
When Sophia Fesi heard this, she was obviously stunned. Although she had carefully selected sixteen properties in the past few months, when she came here this time, she actually only thought that Simon might choose two or three from them. But after hearing Simon say this
With what he said at the time, he obviously wanted to buy all sixteen properties?!
Spending US$178 million at one time to purchase 16 properties is definitely a crazy move in this era when the world's richest people generally only have a few billion dollars in net worth. What's more, as a former luxury agent, Sophia
·Facey knows very well that after purchasing a property, most wealthy people will continue to spend a lot of money to renovate and renovate it, which is also a huge expense.
After being dazed for a moment, feeling that Simon was still looking at her inquiringly, Sophia Fesi quickly gathered her thoughts and recalled the question he had just asked.
Sixteen, um, seventeen properties, can she take care of them?
Many rich people actually have the habit of purchasing multiple properties. If it was the case of purchasing a bunch of small apartments and villas in the past, she could immediately give a positive answer.
However, these seventeen properties are currently among the top luxury homes in Europe. Only the manor covering an area of 22 hectares in the western suburbs of Paris also has a private horse farm, orchards and lakes in addition to the main villa. Daily maintenance requires at least ten people.
A dedicated gardener servant. To maintain all seventeen luxury houses, a dedicated team of several hundred people would probably be formed, and this matter was definitely not just as simple as ordinary maintenance and cleaning.
After hesitating for a while, Sofia Fesi nodded slightly, but still couldn't help but confirm: "Simon, you want to buy all these properties?"
"You can start this matter after you return to Europe," Simon said, patted Janet in his arms, helped the woman get up and said: "That's it for today, Janet, help Sophia arrange the room, I'm going to take a shower first.
.”
Sofia Feisi watched Simon leave, then looked at Janet, who had not raised any objection to Simon's decision just now, and said: "Jenny, are you really going to let Simon do this?"
Janet came over and took Sophia's arm and led her towards the guest room, saying: "I am his girlfriend, not his mother. In fact, the longer we get together and get used to Simon's crazy thoughts, you won't
I feel weird about this kind of thing.”
Sofia Fesi said: "But with sixteen houses, I don't think it is necessary at all."
"The most important thing is that a person can do whatever he wants. Who cares whether it is necessary or not."
Janet said, accompanying Sofia to a guest room, where the housekeeper's luggage had been moved during the day. Sofia Feisi opened the suitcase and took out some changes of clothes. She noticed that Janet was still standing at the door, curious.
Said: "Jenny, is there anything else?"
"No," Janet shook her head, but raised her hand and knocked on the door panel, with a smile on her face, and said, "I just want to remind you that the door to this bedroom cannot be locked from behind.
"
After Janet finished speaking, without looking at the housekeeper's expression, she said good night and turned to leave.
But it was not too late for Sofia Fesi. She was not a little girl, so how could she not understand the subtext of Janet's words. After forcing herself to arrange her clothes nonchalantly for a while, she couldn't help but walk to the door.
He glanced outside, closed the door, studied the door handle carefully, and found that Janet was not joking with him.
You really can’t lock it!
The figure of her young boss could not help but appear in her mind. Since confirming the employment relationship, Sophia Fesi began to pay close attention to many things related to Simon. As a result, she realized even more how legendary this young man was.
a being.
At the age of twenty, when most of his peers were still confused about the future, he had already started from scratch and created achievements that many people might not be able to achieve in several lifetimes.
As a mature woman in her prime, or perhaps because of the possessive precondition Simon proposed, she has fantasized about certain things in private, but they are just fantasies. Although she is very fond of her appearance.
She had confidence, otherwise she would not have been able to find a rich husband in the first place, but she did not expect that he would really be interested in her.
Now.
Looking at the door in front of her, the housekeeper couldn't help but twist and turn in her mind.
What should I do if he really breaks in tonight?
What would he do if he didn't break in tonight?
Villa master bedroom.
Simon walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and wiping his hair. Janet had already put on a light pink silk nightgown and was lying on the big bed, flipping through a magazine. Seeing Simon come out, the woman turned her head and smiled sweetly at him.
He looked very harmless. But Simon was not polite at all. He walked to the bed, raised his hand and slapped the woman on the buttocks.
After the snap, Janet immediately became tearful and said, "Why did you hit me?"
Simon raised his hand again in a gesture: "What do you think?"
